Album

Concert from Utopia in 1980, footage taken from the live in Columbus DVD. I don't own the rights I only want to promote my favourite DVD of some historic musical importance, Utopia: Live In Columbus, Ohio, 1980 captures for posterity a 2-hour evening with this exciting ensemble at the top of its game. Comprised of Todd Rundgren on guitar, Roger Powell on keyboards, Kasim Sulton on bass and Willie Wilcox on drums-four truly multitalented virtuosos-the band dishes out a program here that draws on a wide swath of Rundgren and Utopia material a whopping 28 songs in all. Highlights, for this viewer, are anything from the band's 1977 album Oops Wrong Planet, one of my favorite records of all ti. By 1980, they were playing new wave-inflected pop-rock and Beatles pastiches. Bassist Kasim Sulton wears a skinny power pop tie and synth whizz Roger Powell looks like a Buggle on acid. There was life after prog for Utopia. After years of hi-tech bombast and electronic freakouts, the band and their music lost ballast. The highpoints are the extremes: Todd Rundgren crooning Hello It's Me and Cliché alone, and the group in full-tilt cosmic mode for Initiation. My most memorable performance was with Todd Rundgren in 1994 when I played the drums in the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam. You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick Todd rundgren with a twist all greatest hits in an island vibe Clichématic hasn't uploaded any pics yet. Loading more.

Todd Rundgren founded Utopia in order to play prog-rock, but the band became a more mainstream rock group as the '70s progressed. This DVD captures them performing before an avid crowd in Columbus, Ohio on a 19890 tour. The band plays over two-dozen songs over the course of the show including Hello It's Me, Love In Action, Set Me Free, and Love Is the Answer. Utopia - Live at the Royal Oak. Roger Powell. 8 out of 5 stars 6. Well, being from Columbus, in had to get it.

Why, why don't I remember Oh, yea, it was 1980, PARTY that nows makes me kinda old,. Anyway, you have to remember that this was cutting edge stuff, the video.
